Letters: Chicago wants to fix something that isn't broken - selective enrollment schools
Briefly

Fundamentally, the Board of Education is wanting to fix something that isn't broken. Selective enrollment high schools surely have issues surrounding representation and racial exclusion, and those problems definitely need to be addressed. But to claim that they are bastions of white elitism is disingenuous and wrong.
The board has, additionally, expressed a desire to move away from school choice and invest in neighborhood schools. This, on paper, is an admirable goal. But changing selective enrollment schools to do so is nonsensical.
